Why Do I Need to Update WordPress?

When you think about?updating your website, you probably think about things like correcting old information, or changing the design. The stuff you can?see.

But when was the last time you updated the?back end?of your website? The stuff you?can’t?see?

If you have a WordPress website, neglecting updates could put your site at major risk. To find out why, keep reading (or watch below)!

Why You Need to Update WordPress

If you have a WordPress website, you need to be doing regular updates. Here’s why:

The WordPress platform is built around the concepts of plugins. Your site relies on plugins for things like forms, galleries, e-commerce, and more.

Most sites have at least a dozen plugins. And each one of those plugins regularly releases updates.

Sometimes these updates fix bugs or add features, but most often, they are security updates because hackers have found a way to exploit that plugin. If you don’t keep your plugins up-to-date, your?website is more likely to get hacked.

It’s a lot like the regular updates for Windows and Office products. Because everyone uses Microsoft programs, hackers love to target them. If you’re not installing Windows updates, you’re vulnerable to getting hacked.
